Melissa,

One paddler has a better shot at rolling a tandem than two. The coordination
and timing are pretty critical and the two need to do this without
communicating (at least in conventional ways). It is not the length, nor
beam, of the boat that makes rolling one a challenge, it is the second
paddler.

I've seen a friend of mine, sitting alone in the stern cockpit, hand
roll an empty plastic Necky Amaruk tandem (no spray skirts attached,
so some water was in the boat). It was a big and heavy boat, but he
didn't have much trouble with the roll.
